Orient Congregational Church was founded in 1717, and is the oldest UCC Church in New York State. Our beautiful church building, with its Tiffany-style windows, was built in 1843.

Who We Are

The members and friends of Orient Congregational Church welcome all persons, regardless of ethnic heritage, sexual orientation, religious backgrounds, etc.

We believe that each person is unique and valuable.

We believe that each person is on a spiritual journey, and that each of us is at a different stage of that journey.

We believe in the power of peace, and work for non-violent solutions to local, national, and international problems.

About the UCC

Intelligent dialogue and a strong independent streak sometimes cause the United Church of Christ (UCC) and its 1.2 million members to be called a “heady and exasperating mix.” The UCC tends to be a mostly progressive denomination that unabashedly engages heart and mind. And yet, the UCC somehow manages to balance congregational autonomy with a strong commitment to unity among its nearly 5,600 congregations—despite wide differences among many local congregations on a variety of issues.
